If someone gives you a gift, you feel they
gave you a cheaper gift; if someone passes an innocent comment, you find
the hidden meaning behind it and consider it an insult; if someone does
not do what you want them to do… you feel totally rejected and
unappreciated… Very soon you will find people will start avoiding you
totally… even those who are very closely bound to you.
Soon you will start feeling frustrated with
life itself; You will start getting sick, feeling tired, stressed out,
angry most of the time, feel unappreciated… All these feelings will start
manifesting as some kind of dangerous illnesses such as blood pressure,
heart problems, sleeplessness, arthritis, cholesterol etc…
Well you are in for a big shock…
All that has been happening to you… the way
others have been behaving towards you or reacting to even your good
intentions is not because of them alone… it is because of YOU.
YOU are responsible.
So Stop! Take a deep breath and start
accepting responsibility for what is showing up in your life. This is the
first step… Taking responsibility for your self.
Yes… you are simply alienating yourself, you
are victimizing yourself, you are brutalizing yourself, you are making
yourself sick… not anyone else. You are responsible for what is happening
in your life right now.
You are creating a hell in your mind and
consequently life…
All the while you could and can still have
the heaven if you so wish…
Only you can make yourself whole again. And
the first step is to accept responsibility… This does not mean that you
now launch into feelings of guilt, depression and start hating yourself…
Not at all… Just accept responsibility for what happened in the past and
from now on resolve to take charge of your future.
So the first step is accepting
responsibility.
Second… Release guilt. Forgive everyone.
Forgive yourself. Expel all negative emotions. Stop blaming others and
also stop blaming yourself.
Third… Start looking at the positive side of
everything. Start appreciating the good in everyone and everything. Start
creating an attitude of gratitude… Be thankful
You will soon discover the peace, the love,
the happiness and the self fulfillment that had seemed so remote
previously… You will find your heaven.
